Category: Capacity Building and Awareness Raising

All employees must understand what gender equality is at a fundamental level, and be knowledgeable about, and responsive to, company policies, practices, and initiatives.

How does your organization ensure that leadership (i.e. Board of Directors, CEO, senior leadership, senior management) gain an understanding of what gender equality should look like in the workplace?

How does your organization ensure that all managers and/or team leaders are aware and have the capacity to support gender equality efforts within their teams?

Has your organization incorporated employee recognition and rewards to encourage and create awareness about inclusive practices and behaviours?

Does your organization evaluate the outcomes from capacity building and/or awareness raising programs?

How does your organization ensure that its capacity building and/or awareness raising programs respond to the needs of all employees?

Has your organization implemented programs that specifically engage men to ensure their awareness and capacity to support gender equality (e.g. Catalyst’s MARC Leaders programming)?

Has your organization created and shared resources with gender equality information specific to the organization (e.g. benefits of gender equality, action items, progress, outcomes)?

Does your organization offer formal capacity building programs for gender equality (e.g. training related to emotional intelligence, conscious and unconscious bias, gender stereotypes)?

Does your organization offer awareness raising programs for gender equality (e.g. resources and information; workshops, speakers, in-person events; programming from expert organizations)?
